WINGMAN CHICAGO: Words of Wisdom from Robin Thicke

By Ernest Wilkins

Last night, I attended the VH1 Save The Music Foundation's Songwriters Music Series and caught a performance from Black on Black Rhyme and the headliner Robin Thicke.

I got the opportunity to bend Mr. Thicke's ear and he dropped some gems that some guys can use out here in these streets. Interview below.Ernest: Let me get this out of the way early. are there any new Chicago artists you're currently digging?Robin: Oh man, yeah! There's a guy, a violinist who I played with awhile ago...what was his name? *searches for his phone* Lee England, Jr.!!! I want to make sure that he gets that shine.E: You've done a lot of collaborations with rappers. Not including your own, what is the best rap/R&B collab ever?R: Oh man...you have to put Mary J. and Method at the top of the list. (Referring to their classic 90's hit "I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need To Get By" )
